Should jewelry given as a by a lover be returned when the relationship ends?

I was watching onw of those judge shows the other day. There was a couple who were married for only like a year or two and they were getting divorced. The guy wanted the wedding ring back from the girl who didnt want to give it up. If a person buys their lover or spouse jewelry, do you think they should return it if they split up?

Personally I think that jewelry that given to her is hers to keep(or should be) but something like a wedding ring has a promise attached and if for some reason the marriage doesnt work out he should get the ring back. Its not really hers to begin with, its theirs.

That's actually a pretty tricky question. I would say no, they shouldn't have to give it back when they split up. It was a gift, so it should not have to be returned. Think of it this way..if you gave your best friend a birthday gift, if your friendship ended, would you ask for that gift back? I just think that what's done is done, and if you give someone something, that is theirs to keep. I can totally see something like this getting out of hand in the future.. people will start writing wedding bands and rings into their prenups...
